Personally, I find most of the s h o r t info pages terrible whilst
|
|
the longer ones, such as the Bison or gcc pages, quite useful. If there
|
|
could be some arbitrary division between the two - for example, man
|
|
pages always consist of these X sections, whilst info pages are more
|
|
free format - they could live together.
